Last chance: Get your tickets now to Gwen Stefani in Abu Dhabi this Friday
Abu Dhabi's favourite show series under the stars has brought some incredible global performers this year for its second season, and setting the stage alight at Saadiyat Nights this Friday, February 21, as part of the event's closing weekend will be US pop superstar Gwen Stefani. Gwen will be bringing a songbook of her stunning hits to town, and this is your last chance to grab tickets to what is all but guaranteed to be a show for the ages.
The crowd-puller and hugely entertaining pop sensation has dominated radio waves for decades with singles such as Hollaback Girl, Hey Baby , Cool , Sweet Escape (ft. Akon) , 4 in the Morning and many more – and now, you'll be able to catch these chart-topping tunes live on stunning Saadiyat Island in the company of none other than Gwen herself.
Sing along to chartbusting hits as the second edition of Saadiyat Nights rolls to a close this weekend, with Abu Dhabi's gorgeous cooler weather along for the ride.
On either side of Stefani's super show this weekend will be a sellout performance by another industry icon, Jennifer Lopez tonight, before generational legend and four-time Grammy winner Lionel Richie takes to the stage on Saturday evening to belt out superhits such as All Night Long and Hello, before the curtains fall on this year's edition of one of the classiest show series to come to the UAE.
The story thus far has been no less impressive, with adored performers including Canadian crooner Michael Bublé and pop superstar Christina Aguilera bringing the star power to the capital in the weeks past.
Grab your tickets now. We'll see you there…

JLo in Abu Dhabi: Everything you need to know before the big show
Get ready, Abu Dhabi, the queen of sparkle, sass and all-out showstoppers is about to take the stage. Jennifer Lopez brings her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour to Etihad Arena tonight, and whether you're there for the dance-floor anthems, the high-octane choreography or that viral skirt toss, you're in for a night of pure spectacle. From bedazzled bodysuits to beats that shake the arena, this is no ordinary concert – it's a full-scale JLo production, and it's going to be loud, glamorous and unforgettable. To help you plan the perfect night, we've rounded up everything from where to fuel up pre-show to the best spots to crash post-concert. Because while she may be 'Jenny from the Block,' tonight she's running the whole capital. Last week in Warsaw, she reminded the world why she's still that girl. Mid-performance, while thanking her fans, the gold glittery skirt she was wearing snapped off. One second it was there, the next it was on the floor. Creating a viral moment, she picked it up and threw it into the crowd like a party favour. One fan went home with couture, the rest went wild. This week the 'love don't cost a thing' singer is bringing that same energy to Etihad Arena for the only Middle East stop on her Up All Night: Live in 2025 world tour. But Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to the UAE. She performed in Dubai in 2012 and again in 2014. Earlier this year she headlined Saadiyat Nights in Abu Dhabi, with an open-air show that left fans screaming for more. This time, she's taking it indoors with a full-scale arena production. Doors open at 6pm, and if you're driving, plan ahead. The smart move is to make a full night of it. If you are heading home straight after the show, do yourself a favour and pack a snack, make a playlist, and accept the fact that you might be in traffic longer than JLO was on stage. But hey, if the post-show magic holds, the cars around you might get loud and hoot in harmony to Jenny from the Block .
